According to a press release, Snaps are “new features and functionality, created by third-party developers, that MetaMask users worldwide can install directly into their wallet.'
Consensys, one of the biggest developers for the Ethereum blockchain and the creator of the popular MetaMask crypto wallet, said it's releasing a major new feature called “MetaMask Snaps,” allowing users to choose from a variety of app-like or add-on customizations for their browser extension.
Previously, MetaMask users could only opt-in to new features built by MetaMask developers, but with this new development, users can now choose from a wider variety outside of the MetaMask landscape. For example, Solflare, a crypto wallet provider focused on the Solana blockchain, is launching"Solana Snaps," which will enable MetaMask users to manage their Solana holdings directly from their MetaMask accounts.
"Because of its different architecture, using Solana traditionally required installing dedicated wallets," Solflare shared in a press release.
